Places I Want to Visit Before I Turn 21

As another year comes to a close, I realize that I really haven't traveled much at all in my life. I've been a few places, but for the most part school has held me back so much more than I've noticed in the past, and everyone says that traveling is something you should do when you're young- so consider this a bucket list for travel goals BEFORE I turn 21.

1. New York City, New York

2. Santorini, Greece

3. San Francisco, California

4. Oahu, Hawaii

5. Bora Bora

6. Paris, France

7. London, England, UK

Note that this list is to be continued ;)

Reverse Bucket List- What I've accomplished So Far

You've heard of the classic bucket list- everything you want to do before you die. So many bloggers have published these before, but the new trend is a reverse bucket list, which is everything they have either crossed off of their bucket list so far, or just done that's amazing but wasn't really even on your bucket list for some reason. I'm excited to share mine, and update it in the near future (hopefully!). Here's everything I've done so far~

-Gone out of the country

-Flew to Mexico & the Bahamas and learned about their cultures


-Been to three of the many Hawaiian islands (more to come?)

-Started & maintained a blog over the course of a couple of years

-Went to the Fare Thee Well Grateful Dead concert in Santa Clara

-Went to the biggest aquarium in the world (Atlanta, GA)

-Snorkeled with the most colorful fish ever, and chased a puffer fish (don't do that)

-Taken road trips to Seattle, Santa Clara, and Los Angeles

-Gone to the Pike Place Market many times in Seattle (probably one of my favorite places in the world)

-Helped someone work out to lose weight, acting as a sort of personal trainer

-Driven up to Tannen Lake, a nearby lake in the mountains- the most beautiful lake I've ever seen. 

-Helped tutor other kids because I'm supposedly smart and nice like that. 

-Went to the Anzo Borrego Desert state park in Southern California, WOW.

That's all for now, but if I remember anything, I'll add it later- can't wait to update this. Fun fact- the first picture of the beach looks exactly like the beach we went to in Kona, HI where you could just walk down the stairs from your hotel and there it was; paradise.

7 Places Around the World I Want to Visit

On people's bucket lists, travel is one of the main categories. In fact, I don't think people put anything else on there, besides skydiving and special foods. I've always had a list of fun places I'd like to visit before I die, and just recently (a month ago? Two months? I can't remember) I made a travel board on Pinterest after discovering so many beautiful photos of amazing places around the world. Here are the top 7 places that I thought I'd share so that you can add them to your list, too~

1. Melbourne, Australia

I've been wanting to go to Australia for as long as I can remember, and what better place to go than Melbourne? Obviously I would explore a little bit more, maybe drive around a bit, but mostly I would just rent a house and relax on the beach. I'm not the kind of person that explores every little thing. 

2. Paris, France (as shown in first photo)

This one is a no-brainer, but I'm not visiting it because it's "the most romantic place in the world"- I want to eat the food! But instead of visiting in spring or summer like most people, I'd go in the fall, because there won't be as many tourists and the colors would be just gorgeous.

3. Tokyo, Japan (as shown in second photo)

I've always wanted to visit Tokyo- always. I've been watching Miyazaki movies since I was a baby, and in fact just got a bunch of Japanese toys & nik naks for Valentine's Day. This is my dream, and I will make it to Japan if I have to walk there never mind Japan is an island. 

4. London, England

This is my next stop after Paris, and I'll be going to all of these European places with my mum because a. She grew up in England and b. she loves the food there and I can't bring back enough for her to eat. Ah, London- home of Sherlock, my mother's memories, and tea time at four o'clock. 

5. Bora Bora (as shown in third photo)

This one is an underrated place with not as many tourists as Fiji and other tropical places like Hawaii and the Bahamas, but it's, like, ten times as amazing. There is a person that might be reading this right now that really wants to go to Fiji someday (with me probably) and will be screaming their head off that Fiji isn't on this list. Long story short, Bora Bora is tiny- only about a mile wide, and two miles long. 

6. Santorini, Greece

My mother's second favorite place? Greece. She LOVES Greek food. She could live off of it. Greece is so beautiful, with the colors and the streets and the beaches, I could just live there. Honestly, most places in Europe are beautiful.

7. Costa Rica

This has been on my family's vacation list for a while, and for years now my dad has been saying that we would go- but still, we never have. It's a very tropical place, though, with white sandy beaches and clear turquoise water. 

Those are the seven places that are all on my bucket list, and that I wish to visit someday- hopefully with friends.
